Stepping it up: Cheddar Bread Chips

So you like the bread chips, but you think they could be better.  You're also a huge fan of Cheezits, Goldfish, or other cheese crackers and/or like both cheese and crackers in your soup.

These are absolutely (in my opinion) the most addicting of the Bread Chip formats.  Especially when hot out of the oven and wafting their deliciousness through the air.

Let's step it up a bit with some cheddar bread chips!

You already know the first few steps.  Take your Bread Chips Recipe and only bake chips for the first 5 minutes.  Then, take the chips out, spread them on the pan, and sprinkle SPARINGLY with about 1/2 a cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese.  Bake for about another 5 minutes: you're looking for the cheese to bubble in the center and brown at the edges.

Two things to keep in mind here:
1.  I say sparingly because if you use too much cheese on the chips and store them, they will get chewy and soggy.  Not so pleasant.  If you're eating them right then and there, go forth and load those suckers down!

2. Shredding the cheese yourself on the common household grater does seem to produce better results, possibly due to how thin the slivers of cheese are.  That said, no real damage is done with the stuff you buy in the bag.  (I've used both depending on how lazy I feel)
